[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't want to say the wrong thing or sound like a jerk, but sometimes it is very hard to have your children at someone's house who doesn't have children. Even if the people are really laid back. A lot of times they aren't child-proofed, there aren't toys there, there's no where for kids to sit and eat safely, etc. I'm not saying your house is like this and I do think your family should make the effort to come out and see you at least once, even if it is inconvenient with the kids. Just trying to give some perspective on why people with kids balk at meeting up at places other than their own houses. [/quote]

I agree with this.  When you go to a non-kid person house you are stuck taking every last thing with you bc you know they aren't going to have extra wipes, diapers, sippy cups are easy toddler snacks. Also, an hour drive for some kids is tough - they don't like the car, they may be potty training, etc  and your new kitchen? How much have you gone on and on about that - your friends may not want to spend the time policing their kids so they don't hurt your new kitchen. You might have inadvertently given them the impression that you wouldn't want anyone messing up your new kitchen.

I have an 8 yr old and my friend lives 45 mins away and has a 6, 3 and 1  yr old. 9 times out of 10 I go to her house, the other 1 time we meet up somewhere. I realize its just that much harder for her.
